Westbrook History and Amenities

Westbrook, A Diamond in the Rough Inc., is a modernized, for-profit transformation of the former member-owned Westbrook Country Club, originally founded in 1901. In 2022 the Club was purchased by a single owner as part of a new hospitality organization. The owner is investing millions in capital and operating dollars to create a one-of-a-kind golf and recreational experience in the region. The owner family has also generously donated to causes and institutions in the surrounding community investing in the region’s future. The new organization encompasses the former club’s Donald Ross designed golf course; a spectacular new clubhouse and boutique hotel, both currently under construction; a newly constructed banquet/events center (with limited operations underway) which will be the premier facility in the region; a recently completed swimming and F & B outlet opening this summer; on-site high-end condominiums; and an off-site Sky Club at the local private airport that is operated by the owner.

About the Area

Westbrook is in North Central Ohio in Mansfield halfway between Columbus and Cleveland. The Mansfield–Bucyrus, OH Combined Statistical Area (CSA) encompassed 219,408 residents in 2020. Like many cities in Ohio, Mansfield experienced the loss of significant blue-collar manufacturing jobs during the 1980s and 1990s. However, recent years have witnessed a revitalization of Mansfield’s downtown area, once emblematic of economic hardships. Main Street Mansfield, now known as Downtown Mansfield, Inc., has played a pivotal role in spearheading innovative revitalization efforts and fostering new business growth. Additionally, Intel’s $20B investment in chip manufacturing is expected to bring significant growth to Central Ohio in the next few years. The region boasts a reasonable cost of providing a very affordable for housing and land market; good schools are available in several area districts; a vibrant arts scene with a community theater, art center, and numerous events and festivals held throughout the year; and significant outdoor recreation opportunities. Mansfield and the surrounding communities combine the advantages of small-town living, such as a close-knit community and a slower pace of life, with the amenities expected in a larger city, including shopping, dining, and various entertainment options.

About the Position

While the site is the same as the former Westbrook Country Club and some WCC members remain, this is essentially a start-up operation.

While some current Club operations continue during construction and management/oversight is necessary, this position, in conjunction with the organization’s new Executive Chef, will be instrumental in creating hospitality standards and operating procedures for all F & B operations with a significant focus on events/banquets, staff training and development, organizational and personnel structure, and helping to create the hospitality culture necessary for the organization success as each phase of the new operations open.

Candidate Qualifications

• Required: Practical service experience in higher-end food and beverage with significant knowledge of banquet and event operations in a country club, luxury hotel/resort, or upscale restaurant company
